The San Diego Padres have another possible answer to their rotation needs, although the newest suggestion comes with a number worth examining. Bleacher Report’s Tim Kelly predicts Foster Griffin will sign with San Diego to a three-year, $56 million deal.
That is a November 4 projection, rather than a reported offer or agreement. Available reporting shows no confirmed Padres pursuit.
A multiyear commitment also requires more than one season of evidence. San Diego would need to judge his durability and the repeatability of that broad pitch mix.
Griffin’s 2026 season gives the idea a foundation. The left-hander supplied a substantial workload and finished with a 3.60 ERA, making him relevant to a club seeking dependable innings.
But his expected ERA was considerably higher. That difference adds a useful question for San Diego to investigate before treating an appealing season as a straightforward guide to his next contract.
